Pensacola Young Professionals

The mission of the Pensacola Young Professionals is to develop, retain, and connect young professionals to the community and each other.

In 2006, young professionals were looking to speak out on behalf of the Maritime Park project. With help from community leaders, Pensacola Young Professionals was created to be the voice of young leaders in Pensacola.

Our vision is to make the Greater Pensacola area one of the nation’s premier places to live, work, and play, and to serve as a model for all young professional organizations.

We are a nonprofit organization founded on giving the young people of Pensacola a voice, a place in our community, and a greater sense of belonging. We’re passionate about Pensacola and we believe we can inspire change within our community.

We’re run by a dedicated team of volunteers that make up our board and leadership team. We meet in various capacities monthly- including our board meeting, networking events, and team meetings and programs.
